    Abwechslungsreiche Tour. Man kann unterwegs auch noch schöne kleine Pfade als Varianten einbauen. Einfach die gestrichelten Wege nach Karte laufen. Einkehrmöglichkeiten gibt es auf niederländischer Seite im Erholungspark "klein Vink".

    Arcen ist immer wieder eine Reise wert! Ich habe verschiedene Touren dort gemacht. Die gruene, blaue, und auch rote Route. Alle Wanderwege sind einfach fantastisch, gut beschildert und fuehren immer wieder durch kleine Tore in Gebiete mit freilaufenden Rindern. Durch Waldgebiete, durch Arcen's Zentrum, vorbei an der Maas....immer wieder was zu sehen. Man kann auch die Maas fuer 30 cent mit der Faehre ueberqueren, auf der anderen Seite an der Maas entlangwandern und dann mit einer anderen Faehre wieder zurueck! Traumhaft! Ich habe allerdings alle meine Touren in Arcen gestartet, da dort alles super ausgeschildert ist. Parken kann man am Schloss (kostet allerdings 4 Euro), ich allerdings parke in Arcen an der Maas oder am "De Ijsvogel"...das kostet nichts. Die Graanbranderij "De Ijsvogel" ist uebrigens unbedingt zu besuchen!!! Also, ich trinke ja eigentlich nicht viel, aber deren hausgemachte Kaffeelikoere und Genever sind einfach spitze!!! Und am rauschenden Bach unterhalb des Muehlenrades sitzen, einen Kaffee mit Likoerchen geniessen: Was kann es schoeneres zum Ausklang eines Wandernachmittages geben?
